Factor Analysis undertaken for M-AMBI
calculation in oligo-mesohaline waters,
within Basque estuaries. Red circle
indicates ‘bad reference
conditions’, blue circle
indicates ‘high reference
conditions’, and the other
circles are the monitored sampling
stations. The vectorial distance
between each location and the high
reference conditions represents the
ecological status, assessed by
M-AMBI.
